PATSP is a long-winded, intermittently humorous blog which is mostly about houseplants, particularly Anthuriums and Schlumbergeras.
A reader e-mailed me an interesting link this morning, to a site with a lot of interesting macro photos of cacti, as well as even some photos taken with the aid of a microscope, which makes me sad all over again that my plans to get a microscope last spring didn't work out. The cacti in question appear to be mainly Mammillarias.

Oh golly, Mr_Subjunctive, now I'm sad about the microscope, too. You could have taken those beautiful pictures yourself, if only . . . .

Ask us to donate something to further your photographic ambitions. We'll be glad to help you get that microscope!
Nobody sent me this link. I'm sad just thinking about it. Oh well, off to blog this link now. And then I may even visit it.
Those are some really beautiful photos. You could take this to the next level:

It's pretty much better than a microscope! Well maybe not, but desperate times...
The first is Mammillaria bombycina, and the next 2 are Mamms as well, but the last is not a Mamm. Beyond that, I'm clueless.
What a phenom website! Thanks for sharing!
I actually bought one of these recently - and have been having some fun with it. Works great on my mac.
